Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum.

Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help!

"Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been." -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey"

Today, Violet and me went to the Kuttawa Harvest Fests Bark in the Park.

She took first place in the Fastest Yipyip Dog Kill category. Kidding. Best Groomed. She was definitely the centerpiece dog. I've never had so many people approach me and inquire about a pet since my four plus foot iguana Vyvyan would sit on my shoulder at the park. I must have heard the word 'beautiful' several dozen times. They contest needs a 'most beautiful' category instead of just 'cutest', IMO...

I thought I had made a mistake when we showed up to see a field of about twenty puff ball dogs. And Violet went basically insane. Of course, the dogs tried to give it right back to her! In the end she warmed up to them, and I think is better for the experience. Next year, I'm going to dress up like an Inuit and win Best Lookalike!

She had a long, rough day yesterday. A Bark in the Park, then a garden party with tons of people wanting to play, and cats. Latest she's been up since we got her!

The trail we are going to do is the wranglers loop, in the wranglers campground by Fords bay. We dont plan on staying on trail the whole time, maybe a little off road adventuring is in the works.
